Donna, I saw the obituary for Terry in the Pioneer Press and was saddened to read of his death. It has been a lot of years since I worked at the U as the Admissions Coordinator for the Dept. of Medicine so you may not remember me but I enjoyed knowing you and Terry and was so happy when you got married. These are sad days for you so I hope you will find comfort and support from family and friends. Sincerely, Janice Walker

It's strange I just found your picture from prom and remembered what a great guy you were and that you were such a sweet and thoughtful guy. Prayers to your family my old friend.
